BASICS OF PROBABILITY

Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Classical probability uses sample spaces to compute probabilities.
A
True
B
False
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Classical probability uses a frequency distribution to compute probabilities. Explanation: The classical probability of an event is simply a fraction that is calculated by dividing the sample space’s total number of occurrences by the number of supporting examples for that event.

Detailed explanation-2: -The formula of classical probability is as follows: P(A)= f/N; where, P(A)= classical probability, f= frequency or the number of favourable outcomes and N= Number of total possible outcomes. There are three more types of probabilities: empirical, subjective and axiomatic probabilities.

Detailed explanation-3: -The probability of an event is the ratio of the number of cases favorable to it, to the number of all cases possible when nothing leads us to expect that any one of these cases should occur more than any other, which renders them, for us, equally possible.

Detailed explanation-4: -Answer and Explanation: ‘In classical probability, all outcomes in the sample space are equally likely. ‘ The given stamen is absolutely True.
